( Side note the larger yellow thing that I have multiple pics of is what I originally thought was a busted up piece of artwork/ statue i dug up on the farm due to that fact it stands perfectly upright on its own and has a yellow huge on the outside iv never seen before ,other forum goers on the other hand had simply told me it's only a rock, looking forward to know what kind of rock that could possibly be:) thanks guys
:: All the items in my photos were found at the same site.

Do you have access to a Geiger counter? yellow one could be Uraninite though I wouldn't bet the farm on it. :)

Yes it would - see the yellow on your hand in one pic - wouldn't keep in open area and wash up good before eating! Do you have a black light and a drop of Nitric acid? If a drop is applied to rock and it's Uraninite it will show.

( looking up and noticing the item in question is sitting on the dinning room table top) .. I don't have any nitric acid. I currently have very little knowledge of most most compounds and minerals ( as I'm sure you have easily caught on to) but I appreciate the advice! .. I'm in process of putting that thing in the garage and cleaning the dining room quite well after that bit of precautionary advice, thank you

Good - the ingestion is much more dangerous than just exposure if it is radioactive.

Sorry but I must ask .....Do you glow in the dark ?

Hey you can use my Geiger Counter ..Oh, I don't have one but 6 out of 10 people who see me detecting think i'm using a "Geiger Counter".

You do have some interesting pieces there, wish that I could help you on the rock type's.
Good Eve.

Its all going to depend on WHERE in PA these were found. If eastern PA near Philly I'd guess worn our pyromorphite crystals. The bluish one looks like it may be in the kyanite family, also mined near Philly.

The Allentown and Jim Thorpe areas produced some uranium minerals. Not hazardous unless you eat them.

Thank you, I am in eastern PA, a little less than 30 min outside Philly:)

And I do have a friend with a Geiger.. I'm ironically a little hesitant as to whether I will ask him to test the item in question or not .. but I'll keep everyone posted. And if no one hears back from me, feel free to assume I'm just busy saving lives with my newly discovered uraninitian super powers?
